He is referring to players that chose to only craft and gather. Most of the crafters you see on the street and guild have battle classes probably capped even.

"ours" as in dol and doh only. it was tanakas vision to have a game were you can do anything and there were no restrictions. yoshi is in charge now and he has clearly said that dol and doh are no longer main classes and are secondary to battle classes.
tht being said there is no "our" and "yours" anymore. If you cant adjust then you should probably play another game before you commit anymore time to a game that is gonna be mainly focused on battle, maybe farm tycoon or something like that.
That number represents my best estimate of how many people are in that position.
It's a very small number, no matter whether you want to quibble or not. Because truthfully, you have to go REALLY out of your way, and make things difficult on yourself, not to have a single battle class leveled up to at least 20. You have to make a conscious effort to do so. I don't have much sympathy for folks who went so far out of their way to not participate in the vast majority of the game's content.
And, once again, I would note that the vast, vast majority of people arguing against this requirement have combat classes leveled up. Just like yourself...
I wanted to add, as well: did you use a bot, or multiple people playing the same account, to get r50 in so many crafts? I'm almost hoping you'll say yes; because the alternative is really depressing, man.
Of course, it does matter. If I said there are 99% of pure crafters & gatherers, and dev team buy it. They may change the game direction to DOL/DOH. Are you happy to see that happen? When he said only 1% of pure crafters & gatherers, some mindless people may think that only 1% of people in game, maybe it is not wroth to give the content to them. And that is why it does matter.
